Editor's Note: I don't get up to New Hampshire much so I don't have much personal experience with these dance venues. I depend on the kindness of local dancers to keep me informed of local activity. If you find that some of this information needs to be updated or if you would like to make an addition to this webpage, please write to me at dancenet@havetodance.com.

New Hampshire Amateur Ballroom Dancers Association (NHABDA)
Monthy ballroom dances at the Pinkerton Academy in Derry, The Milford Town Hall in Milford, or the NH Institute of Art in Manchester (see calendar).

Upper Valley Swing Dance Network provides swing and ballroom dance information for New Hampshire and Vermont.

Don't forget that some of the Vermont venues are fairly close to New Hampshire.

There's also information on tango in New Hampshire.

Help!
Sometimes I'll see a dance band play at a non-standard venue and I sometimes wonder if these venues are conducive for dancing, i.e., do they have a dance floor? Some of the venues and some of the bands aren't very helpful in providing that information, particularly if it discourages people from showing up. I don't get a chance to check out most of these venues so please help me provide better information to my readers by letting me know which venues are suitable for dancing. Thanks!
